Music: Trad New Zealand sea shanty

Text: Josh Bishop

4/4

Chorus: G/D/Em/Bm or E/B/C#m/G#m

Why do the nations rage,

And all the peoples plot in vain?

One day, every tongue will praise

And every knee will bow

Bm/Em/Bm/F#/Bm or G#m/C#m/D#/G#m

V1 :

The kings of earth have set themselves

The rulers join in dark cartels

Against the Lord they would rebel;

They've turned from Christ the King! (Huh!)

V2 :

"Let us burst their bonds," they say,

"And let us cast their cords away!"

The lightest yoke they try to break,

Denying Christ is King! Huh!

V3 :
